Big news: NEOFEUD VOICE ACTORS WILL BE PAID! PLEASE CONTACT ME!
(puts down megaphone)
First up, a play-by-play of the Neofeudal State, ordered by progress.
-Voice Acting 5% - Good news is I've cast at least three of about six major parts so far. Still a whole lot of voices left though, so feel free to contact me to audition for voice acting for Neofeud! I am also going to be officially paying voice actors/actresses for their work here, so get those Snowball mics hot and larynxes properly marinated in lemon tea, and contact me!
-Debugging 50% - I have gone through the entire game and squished every bug that I encountered, but I await bug reports of testers. Of course, saying a codebase is 'bug free' is like saying a washed pair of hands is 'bacteria free' or that a war-torn Middle Eastern country is finally 'violence free'. But eventually you have to pull out and send the thing to the e-store shelf!
-Music 95% - Thanks again to Minxilla. Still in the process of soundtracking and cueing music at the right times, but we're on the right track!
-Sound 70% - I've got my Audacity turned up to 11! Working on it!
-UI - 100% - Yes! No more bland week-old-noodles colored iconbars and crappy Windows 95 cursors!
-Story: 100% - Despite the eternal nagging of my inner-Grammar Nazi, the storyline for the Neofeud game is finished! Yes!
-Backgrounds 100% - All of the world-art is in the game!
-Characters 100% - Fully characterized!
-Programming 100% (rough draft) -
That's right, good readers, patrons, lords and ladies-
We're movin' on up!
Also, I've got brand-spanking new UI icons, menus, iconbars, and more! I was torn be the royal-vs-rust themed UI, so I decided to do both. The "High Level" menus -- Main Menu, Technocratic Control Panel screen -- all got a metric drek-ton of gold plating and glowey neon-blue snazzyness everywhere, and the "Commoner, work-a-day" menus, like the in-game iconbar and cursors look like bargain-bin trailer park nick-nacks and patchwork gizmos salvaged from a DeLorean that blew a flux capacitor in 1989. Inequality is tres ubiquitous in this game, why shouldn't proto-fascist snobbery extend to the UI, right!?!?!?
Sorry I missed the 'Black Friday' door-buster sales and will probably take a rain check on cybermonday too, but I'm crossing fingers for Neofeud out before Christmas.
Id so do it but i dont know where to start!
Thanks for the interest :)
Well you could try picking up one of these from the computer/tech store and try recording some sample lines:
Amazon.com
Hey, SilverSpook! I'm an experienced film, stage, television, and voice actor. My most recent credit is the 3rd episode of The AMC TC, which is currently in production. I would like to be involved as a voice actor.
Where should I send samples to? Do you have sample scripts?
Ive always wanted to do some kind of voice acting but I never knew where to start, I can do a couple odd voices hope I could help
Also the game looks freaking awesome so far, I can tell its heavily influenced by sierra games, and those games were my childhood
Thanks! I would start with getting the best microphone you can get your hands on and recording some sample voices.
Are you still looking for voice actors?
Still a few of the smaller parts to be cast, so yes.
Well, what would be the best way to get in contact with you for auditioning?
You can just personal message me on IndieDB with a demo reel if you have one, thanks.
I am a professional voice actor with experience. If you'd like to talk you can find me on Facebook.com/thebenpalladino or twitter @thebenpalladino

Thanks! :)
